BACKGROUND

1. Technical Field

The present invention relates to an optical imaging system for pickup,more particularly to the optical imaging system for pickup with six lenselements to reduce total track length and improve image quality forapplying to electronic devices.

2. Description of Related Art

In compact electronic devices such as digital still cameras, or mobilephone cameras, an optical imaging system for pickup is generallyinstalled for capturing images of an object, and the optical imagingsystem for pickup tends to be developed with a compact design and a lowcost, while meeting the user requirements for good aberration correctionability, high resolution, and high image quality.

In general, a conventional optical imaging system for pickup of acompact electronic device comes with different designs, including thetwo-lens, three-lens, four-lens, five-lens and six-or-more lens designs.However, if the imaging quality is taken into consideration, the opticalimaging system for pickup with the four-lens, five-lens or six-lensdesigns has advantages on image aberration and modulation transferfunction (MTF) performance, wherein the six-lens design having a higherresolution than the four-lens, or five-lens designs is suitable forelectronic devices requiring high quality and high pixels.

In various compact designs of the six-lens optical imaging system forpickup having a fixed focal length, prior arts adopt differentcombinations of positive and negative refractive powers as disclosed inU.S. Pat. Nos. 5,682,269 and 5,513,046 adopting for a group of stackedlenses. For example, the first lens element with negative refractivepower and the second lens element with positive refractive power areused for shortening the total length of an optical system as disclosedin U.S. Pat. No. 7,564,634.

In products such as compact digital cameras, web cameras, and mobilephone cameras, the optical imaging system for pickup requires a compactdesign, a short focal length, and a good aberration correction. Wherein,the six-lens optical imaging system for pickup having a fixed focallength generally adopts the sixth lens element with positive refractivepower to allow the increase of the view angle so as to reduce the totallength of the optical imaging system. As disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos.7,701,649, 4,389,099, and 4,550,987, adopting the optical imagingsystems tend to have a good aberration correction, but the total lengthof the optical imaging system for pickup still fails to satisfy thespecifications for compact electronic devices. In addition, acombination of the fifth lens element with negative refractive power andthe sixth lens element with positive refractive power is adopted, andthe refractive power and the rear focal length of the optical imagingsystem for pickup are adjusted to avoid aberrations caused by excessivepositive refractive power as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,997,248. Theseconventional designs must increase the rear focal length of the opticalimaging system for pickup, so that the total length of the opticalimaging system cannot be reduced.

Therefore, the present invention provides a more practical design toshorten the optical imaging lens assembly adopts a combination ofrefractive powers of six lens elements, convex and concave opticalsurfaces. Wherein the fifth lens element and the sixth lens element havepositive refractive power and negative refractive power respectively,and this complementary combination with a telecentric effect isfavorable for reducing the rear focal length and the total length of theoptical imaging system for pickup effectively as well as furtherimproving the image quality and applying the optical imaging lensassembly to compact electronic products.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

With reference to FIG. 1A, an optical imaging system for pickup of thepresent invention, sequentially arranged from an object side to an imageside along an optical axis, comprises the first lens element 110, thesecond lens element 120, the third lens element 130, the fourth lenselement 140, the fifth lens element 150 and the sixth lens element 160,wherein the first lens element 110 with positive refractive power has aconvex object-side surface 111; the second lens element 120 hasrefractive power; the third lens element 130 has refractive power; thefourth lens element 140 has refractive power; the fifth lens element 150has refractive power; the plastic sixth lens element 160 with refractivepower has a concave image-side surface 162, and both object-side surface161 and image-side surface 162 being aspheric, and the image-sidesurface 162 having at least one inflection point. The optical imagingsystem for pickup further comprises a stop and an IR-filter 170. Morespecifically, the stop can be an aperture stop 100 being a middle stopbetween the first lens element 110 and the second lens element 120; theIR-filter 170 is between the sixth lens element 160 and the image plane180 and generally made of panel glass without affecting the focal lengthof the optical imaging system for pickup of the present invention. Theoptical imaging system for pickup further comprises an image sensor 190at an image plane 180 for imaging a photographed object. The asphericsurfaces of the first lens element 110, second lens element 120, thirdlens element 130, fourth lens element 140, fifth lens element 150 andsixth lens element 160 comply with the aspherical surface formula asgiven in Equation (15).

${X(Y)} = {{\left( {Y^{2}/R} \right)/\left( {1 + {{sqrt}\left( {1 - {\left( {1 + k} \right) \times \left( {Y/R} \right)^{2}}} \right)}} \right)} + {\sum\limits_{i}^{\;}\;{({Ai}) \times \left( Y^{i} \right)}}}$

Wherein, X is the relative height from a point on the aspherical surfacewith a distance Y between the optical axis and a tangent plane at thetip of the optical axis of the aspherical surface;

Y is the distance between a point on the curve of the aspherical surfaceand the optical axis;

R is the curvature radius;

K is the conic coefficient; and

Ai is the ith level aspherical surface coefficient.

In the imaging system for pickup of the present invention optical, thefirst lens element 110, second lens element 120, third lens element 130,fourth lens element 140 and fifth lens element 150 can have spherical oraspheric surfaces. If aspheric optical surfaces are adopted, then thecurvature radius of the optical surface can be used for changing therefractive power to reduce or eliminate aberrations, so as to decreasethe number of lens elements used in the optical imaging system forpickup and shorten the total length of the optical imaging lens assemblyeffectively. The lens elements can be made of glass or plastic. If glasslens elements are adopted, the refractive power of the optical imagingsystem for pickup can be distributed with higher flexibility. If theplastic lens elements are adopted, the production cost can be lowered.With the arrangement of the first lens element 110, second lens element120, third lens element 130, fourth lens element 140, fifth lens element150 and sixth lens element 160, the optical imaging system for pickupsatisfies the relation (1).

In the optical imaging system for pickup of the present invention, thepositive refractive power is mainly provided by the first lens element110 and the fifth lens element 150, such that if the relation (1) issatisfied, the ratios among the focal length f5 of the fifth lenselement 150, the focal length f6 of the sixth lens element 160 and thefocal length f of the optical imaging system for pickup can allocate therefractive power required by the fifth lens element 150 of the opticalimaging system for pickup to reduce the sensitivity of the system inmanufacturing tolerance and provide the required appropriate positiverefractive power. In the meantime, the refractive power of the sixthlens element 160 can be adjusted to be complementary with the refractivepower of the fifth lens element 150 to produce the telecentric effect,so as to facilitate reducing the rear focal length and the total lengthand achieve a compact optical imaging system for pickup.

If the ratio of the focal length f1 of the first lens element 110 andthe focal length f of the optical imaging system for pickup is limitedaccording to the relation (8), the positive refractive power of thefirst lens element 110 can be adjusted appropriately to further adjustthe focal length and reduce the total length of the system. When therelation (13) is satisfied, the sixth lens element 160 has a concaveimage-side surface 162, such that the principal point is far away fromthe image plane 180 to facilitate reducing the total length of theoptical lens system.

If the relation (4) is satisfied, the total length of the opticalimaging system for pickup can be reduced effectively, such that a largereffective pixel range of the image sensor can be achieved with the sametotal length. Similarly, if the relation (2) is satisfied, the positionof the stop and the distance between the first lens element 110 and thesixth lens element 160 can be adjusted appropriately to shorten thelength of the optical imaging system for pickup. If the total length ofthe optical imaging system for pickup is limited according to therelation (11), the system can have an appropriate total length. If thetotal length is too short, the length of each lens element must bedesigned with a smaller thickness. As a result, the yield rate of themanufactured lens elements would be relatively low, and the level ofdifficulty for the assembling process becomes higher.

Furthermore, if the relation (3) is satisfied, the focal length f of theoptical imaging system for pickup can adjust the thickness of the thirdlens element 130, fourth lens element 140, and fifth lens element 150 tofacilitate shortening the total length of the optical imaging system forpickup and enhancing the yield rate in the manufacturing process. If theratio of the axial distance T12 between the first lens element 110 andthe second lens element 120 to the axial distance T23 between the secondlens element 120 and the third lens element 130 is limited according tothe relation (14), an appropriate refractive angle of the light passingthrough the first lens element 110 and the air gap into the third lenselement 130 can shorten the total length.

If the curvature radius R11 of the object-side surface 161 and thecurvature radius R12 of the image-side surface 162 of the sixth lenselement 160 are limited according to the relation (10), the variation ofthe surface shape of the sixth lens element 160 will be limited. Sucharrangement can assist the aberration correction of the system andfacilitate allocating the refractive power of the sixth lens element 160to compensate the positive refractive power of the fifth lens element150 to produce the telecentric effect. In addition, the fourth lenselement 140 has a convex image-side surface 142, such that if the ratioof the curvature radii of the object-side surface 141 and the image-sidesurface 142 is limited according to the relation (5), the refractivepower of the fourth lens element 140 can be adjusted appropriately tolower the sensitivity of the system in manufacturing tolerance, enhancethe yield rate and lower the production cost. The meniscus fourth lenselement 140 has a concave object-side surface 141 and a conveximage-side surface 142 to provide the aberration correction function.Similarly, if the relation (6) is satisfied, the change of the surfaceshape of the second lens element 120 is limited to achieve theaberration correction function of the second lens element 120 withnegative refractive power.

If the relation (9) is satisfied, the difference between the Abbe numberV1 of the first lens element 110 and the Abbe number V2 of the secondlens element 120 is limited within an appropriate range to effectivelycorrect the chromatic aberrations produced by the first lens element 110and the second lens element 120, so as to enhance the chromaticaberration correction of the second lens element 120. If the verticaldistance YC between the outermost horizontal vertex of the image sidesurface 162 of the sixth lens element 160 and the optical axis and thefocal length f of the optical imaging system for pickup is limitedaccording to the relation (12), the range of negative refractive powerof the sixth lens element 160 is relatively larger, so as to strengthenthe aberration correction at a position near the optical axis. The rearfocal length of the optical imaging system for pickup can be adjustedappropriately to facilitate the reduction of the total length of thesystem. Particularly, a tangent line to the image-side surface 162 ofthe sixth lens element 160 at an off-axis tangent point is perpendicularto an optical axis, a vertical distance between the tangent point andthe optical axis is YC.

The optical imaging system for pickup of the present invention isdescribed by means of preferred embodiments with relevant drawings asfollows.
